Does a journal template exist? Something that posts the date automatically
and allows for a key subject field and as well as sub-topics for future
reference?

It shouldn't be too difficult to create your own template. A table layout
springs to mind as an obvious approach. The difficult bit is the date. You
cannot readily automatically insert the date. You could either insert the
date in text format using a macro manually, or you could create an autoopen
macro that adds the date on the next line whenever you open the document.

The manual method is easier and the code
http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm would be

Sub InsertUSFormatDate()
Selection.InsertDateTime _
DateTimeFormat:="MMMM d, yyyy", _
InsertAsField:=False
End Sub
